279: Chapter 230 279: Chapter 230 Jiang Tang felt he was just too kind, having just given Lin Dandan a secret manual, hoping they could train better.
These ungrateful wretches, he had given benefits to ungrateful wretches!
“Before, people said our women chatter like sparrows, with three women making a noisy street, but I never expected to encounter men with such long tongues today.”
Yuan Baozhu uttered the mocking words.
“If they can’t defeat someone in a fight, they probably can only argue with their mouths.
Such flies are better left ignored, right?” Xuanyuan Mengting said with venom in her words.
Then, each of the nine women had their say, leaving the men’s faces red with embarrassment.
“Are you blind?
Even a pretty boy is worth defending for you?
He doesn’t speak for himself, and a woman comes to protect him.
A pretty boy is a pretty boy, a man who depends on a woman’s protection.”
Some of the men from the Lin Family spoke up again, and the place turned into a market with the buzzing noise of so many people talking.
“You just want to taste my power, so I’ll let you have a taste.
More talk is pointless, but if this pretty boy causes you to suffer a great deal, you might as well go cry to your mommy and daddy.
It’s better to be a pretty boy than to end up in such a state caused by me.”
As Jiang Tang spoke, he had cast a ring of light around these men earlier, who, while verbally attacking him, were unable to get physical as they couldn’t escape the ring of light.
The Dugu brothers had already stood up on the ground.
So many had challenged him earlier, leaving him exhausted; these people now wanted to experience Jiang Tang’s power, so he stepped aside to let them have a taste of hardship.
Jiang Tang opened the ring of light, and the men looked at him guardedly, arranging themselves in a posture of defense, preventing a sneak attack.
In fact, the many verbal assaults were just to give Jiang Tang a taste of their tongue war.
Now facing Jiang Tang directly, a sense of inferiority and nervousness spread in their hearts.
They had their best magical treasures and talismans ready.
There was no martial world rule for such higher cultivation.
Even as a group, they might lose.
For someone with such high cultivation to fight them, with their lower cultivation, was nothing but bullying.
Jiang Tang looked at them with contempt and said in a soft voice, “Come at me all together.”
“Kid, you’re so arrogant!”
“Hmph, let him taste what it’s like to be ganged up on.”
“Since he’s so arrogant, let’s beat the arrogance out of him and see if he can still be a pretty boy.
Let’s make his face ugly.”
“Interesting, such a pretty boy is so tough, then we won’t be polite.”
Listening to the men’s comments, Jiang Tang looked down on them, chuckling and adding, “With your level of cultivation, you dare challenge someone with higher cultivation, wanting to beat me until my own mother wouldn’t recognize me?
Although my mother is now a ghost, she still recognizes me.
So, I’ll beat you until your mothers won’t recognize you.”
A smile played on Jiang Tang’s lips, but inside he was a bit angry.
Even the most even-tempered person would be provoked, with so many people challenging him in front of the women who liked him.
It was as if they were slapping his face.
Even Buddha has his limits of patience.
As Jiang Tang spoke these words, while the others still wanted to say more, he waved them off and said, “Stop blathering, God.
If you want to teach me a lesson, come on then.
If you don’t come, I certainly won’t be polite.”
The battle instantly formed, with dozens of men in the arena forming a siege against Jiang Tang.
The men from the Blade Sect trained not only in cultivation techniques and spells but also in group combat formations.
In an instant, the men formed a battle formation and launched a powerful attack on Jiang Tang.
As they fought on, empowered by the formation, their combined force, which would have been weak alone, became formidable.
Jiang Tang, having seen such battle formations in novels and on television in a past life, and also in the Immortal Sect, knew these were highly effective in warfare.
Gang attacks are usually used when facing an enemy, to win with numbers over few.
Regular martial arts contests wouldn’t need such formations, but these men must have come prepared, thinking they could overcome him with it.
Jiang Tang’s expression turned serious, his face losing its earlier ease.
The combined strength of so many was powerful, and another person would definitely get caught up in it and trapped.
Jiang Tang, not knowledgeable in formations, understood he had to fight so many alone, and had to think of a way out.
Watching the many men attack him together, he conjured a ring of light and a barrier in front of him.
Then he thought of a strategy.
Since so many were attacking him at once, he could also play dirty.
All at once, the crowd moved, potentially threatening him, so he imprisoned them all.
With these people restrained, could they still pose a threat to him?
Jiang Tang watched as the ring of light he had produced was about to be broken by these people.
With a wave of his hand, he cast a quick flurry with his hands in front of him and inflicted an Imprisonment Spell on his opponents using Golden Magic, utilizing the Golden Crystal Liquid from within the space.
This Golden Crystal Liquid was, in fact, transformed from the Golden Crystals on the sun in the Primordial Treasure Lingtian Space.
Once he absorbed the Golden Crystals and they transformed into a liquid, it was incredibly formidable.
When this liquid was applied to a person or an object, the Imprisonment Spell could even prevent those stronger than himself from breaking free.
“Jiang Tang, be careful,” Lin Dandan knew how powerful the formation could be with so many people teaming up.
No sooner had Lin Dandan spoken than everyone saw that even the combined fierce attacks of the crowd couldn’t defeat Jiang Tang.
In an instant, a Golden Light wrapped around the dozens of men, and those who were about to move were imprisoned by the golden liquid, unable to even twitch, let alone speak.
They were completely immobilized, like golden Buddha statues, with even their hair turning golden.
The fight ended in less than a moment, and all those people couldn’t even ruffle a hair on Jiang Tang’s head.
“Hahahaha, you were all so fierce, tiring me out, yet you’ve been tamed by this pretty boy.”
Dugu Yan’er’s elder brother roared with laughter.
The nine women in the crowd looked at Jiang Tang with shining eyes, having been worried about him just moments before.
It turned out, their concern for him was unnecessary.
This man was not only handsome and suave, but he also had high cultivation and combat power, and was talented in many ways.
“Jiang Tang, they’re not going to turn into statues forever, are they?”
After admiring him, someone from the Lin Family expressed concern, as the people affected were members of their clan.
“It’s alright, it’s just a lesson for them, so they don’t act like crows all the time.”
“But how can the spell be undone?”
“Lin Dandan, let’s leave.
They will naturally be released,” Jiang Tang said, and with a wave of his hand, the golden glow that had imprisoned the people was absorbed by him, and they reverted back to their original selves.
What did those people want to say?
As Lin Dandan tossed a Jade Slip in front of them, she said, “Stop embarrassing yourselves.
This is a Secret Manual from Jiang Tang.
Practice it well.”
“Miss, is he really that generous?
What he studies is different from ours, can we even use the Secret Manual he gave us?
Don’t let us practice to the point of deviating from sanity.”
“Exactly, beware of spies, miss.
Don’t be fooled by him.
Don’t let this pretty boy deceive you; there are many swindlers in the Martial World.”
As someone was about to continue speaking, one of them picked up the Secret Manual and briefly scanned its contents with his Divine Sense, then slapped his thigh and jumped up, exclaiming:
“Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!
This is even better than what we’ve practiced.
I’ve seen all the manuals of our clan, and none are as sophisticated as this one.”
“Gone silly, huh?
Is it really like that?”
Another snatched the Secret Manual from him, glanced at it, and also began to laugh joyfully.
Soon, word spread amongst the crowd, and dozens of them quickly perused the Secret Manual.
Eager, they couldn’t wait a moment longer and started to practice it right there in the field.
At that moment, they completely disregarded the words they had spoken before Jiang Tang.
Jiang Tang paid no mind to these crazed people and fetched his flying arrows, inviting everyone to board, and the arrows soared high into the sky.
Lin Dandan, looking down at these people from high above, felt embarrassed for them.
They were truly fools.
“Lin Dandan, your clan members are really amusing,” Zhang Nianjiao said with a laugh.
Then, the women began to chatter and laugh with each other.
“Let’s say it’s mutual!” Lin Dandan blushed at their laughter, and after she finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Tang with a thankful and affectionate gaze.
